The Villainess Wants To Live
I reached an answer easily, "Do you want to be friends with me, Jasper?"
"Friends?"
"Let's be friends. In friendships, there's no such thing as becoming indebted to each other after helping each other out. This time, you were lucky that I was able to lend you a helping hand, but later on, I may end up asking for your assistance. Then, at that time, you can just help me. Friend's don't quibble over such stuff. I don't have to ask you for anything. Do you not like it?"
I thought establishing a connection wasn't a bad idea. Jasper was a promising young man. It'd be good to have him on my side if I ever needed it in the future.
